Nikki! I love it!! You made my day.. The faceted olive green bead is a gaspeite (spelling) and the darker green is Turquoise! They look adorable in this design!! I am so happy you like your stash!! Judy

I really like your design! I’ve been looking for an idea for a wedding necklace I’m making for an April wedding, the gown is v-neck, this idea is going !!!! in my head for that piece! Would you mind if I borrow some concepts of your creation? It is just so pretty!!

Wow, thanks all for the feedback. It’s funny how we as designers feel the need to ask permission to use parts of a design…….I think every design feeds off of another design, whether it’s your design or not. I would love to see more interpretations of this style….please post pictures Dragons Chicky when you make it…..I bet it will be gorgeous as a wedding necklace!

Thank you Nicki, I’ve had so many ideas as to what I want to do but when I saw your piece it all seemed to “gel” if you know what I mean. It will be in sterling and indicolite crystals. I’ll be sure to post a pic. thanks again!

Your creation from 2 orphan beads is really cool. When I got my beads from the swap they had no name – so I don’t know who mine came from. It’s nice you knew where your orphans came from – so you could find out what kind of beads you where using in your creation. And great that you have found time to work with yours already. I’m off for a couple days – and after I get the rest of the Christmas stuff put away today – I hope to have time to work with some of the things I got. Hope to see some more posts made from out swapped items.
